Setting the sectioning speed
Tip
The set sectioning speed is only active within the boundaries of the sectioning area. A higher speed
is used outside the sectioning area.
Fig. 29
The sectioning speed can be set continuously (in the range of
0 - 420 mm/s) using the rotary knob.
The speed selector has a scale graduation from 1 to 10. The graduation is
provided for reference purposes and does not indicate a particular speed.
Sectioning window setting

The sectioning window function allows to optimally adapt the size of the
sectioning area to the actual size of the specimen.
The selected sectioning window setting is maintained when the instrument is
turned off.
To set a sectioning window, you must always enter a pair of values. The
sequence of entry (upper or lower) is optional.
• Turn the handwheel to position the lower edge of the sample approximately
3 mm above the cutting edge.
• Press the button of setting sectioning window. This defines the first window
border.
• The green LED ( → "Fig. 30- 1 ") in the button flashes after the first window
border is defined.
• Pass the specimen through to the upper border of the cutting edge and
press the button of setting sectioning window again.
• After the second window border is defined, the green LED in the button
lights on. This indicates that both values were accepted.
